While he claimed that it is not exactly depression, he said but he gets overwhelmed with performance anxiety. Here’s what he said; “It gets in my head, and I can’t really deal with it. I’ve tried to do other things instead of playing World of Warcraft on my stream, and when things happen I don’t expect I just shut down completely. I have horrible performance anxiety. I can’t even pretend to be okay either, when it happens, and it does really make me feel like complete shit, right? I’m not really… it makes me feel like a loser.” Then he further added that streaming puts a huge amount of stress on him. He also noted that he was planning on taking another hiatus as he stated, “I spend a lot of time trying to be another person. It’s all so exhausting. That’s why I have to take a break.”
